@mark.a.cass In reading your other question and now this one which you referenced, the answer by @MinhT is absolutely correct and your interpretion is not. @TurboTaxMinh stated, without knowing that you are OK residents, that for the unusual case of residents who live in one of the nine Community Property states, those married couples have the OPTION to file without Form 1065 by splitting the income and expense of the business entity into two separate Schedules C - one for each spouse. However, it is an option and instead a couple in a Community Property state may ELECT to file a Form 1065.
That said, since you are not residents of one of the 9 states, you MUST FILE Form 1065, and that does allow a Schedule F. That requires the DESKTOP TurboTax Product "BUSINESS".
To file as if you lived in a Community Property state and to use Two Schedule C's is not compliant with IRS regulations. Whether or not that is ever picked up - is something for you to consider.
